I WRITE MY POETRY ON YOU

I write my poetry on you
at night,
when the only drum beat
is that of my heart,
and the only melody
is your name
echoing in my ears.
The lyrics are written by love,
and I am just the lucky artist
holding the pen.

There are forces
that I cannot understand
swirling in and out of this world,
going in and out of my chest,
in and out of my heart,
and in and out of my breath.

We are lucky to be able to experience it,
and blessed that it exists,
and blessed that we experience it.

When read out loud, the last stanza sounds too short.
It can be compensated by making a very long pause, as long as several lines (6-7 seconds).
